I’m sick of giving this administration so much real estate in my head! I’m on strike! Have I been upset, angry, discouraged, or horrified this week? Yes, yes, yes, and yes. Taking flower essences for that? Yes! Have I been posting on social media, signing petitions, promoting protests, giving money to organizations fighting back? Yes, yes, yes, yes! But that’s enough. More than enough some days! And now (for now), I’m on strike! I want my life back!
That doesn’t mean I’m giving up. But as a bonafide Libra, I not only care about justice, I also need balance!
I set that as an intention a few days ago. So much focus on so much cruelty and chaos for so many months totally threw Paul and I into a state where we couldn’t visualize what we want for our personal lives anymore and that has been breaking our hearts. So we took a fair bit of time to look at our fears about how this administration is or will be affecting us and decided that we can’t focus ALL our free time on fighting, we also need to proactively develop some game plans for the worst case scenarios that keep us up at night. And, more than that, we need to appreciate what we have now and find our hope and even joy!
And those talks and the intention behind them has already shifting something. We did math about our retirement plans. (scary) We started to look up what other people recommend. (less scary) We set up an appointment with an advisor. (we’ll see but seems like a good idea) And then more positive thoughts came in. Maybe we could do this? Maybe this other idea could work? We don’t know but our brains started to refocus on solutions instead of fears and that released joy!
Daffodil flower essence might also have helped with this. That’s one I’ve been using lately. It’s also one of the key ingredients in my Joyous Heart formula (which might be better). That formula contains:
- Cassiope: for grateful appreciation of life
- Lemon: for dispelling negative thought patterns that drag you down, more mental clarity, inspiration
- Daffodil: for uplifting the spirits, providing hope, inspiration, and light in challenging times

Flower essences are used to assist with mind-body-spirit interactions and individual results may vary. They are extremely dilute which makes them quite safe. But because so little physical substance can be detected in a flower essence solution, these products are presumed to work on an energetic or vibrational level—something that cannot be adequately tested by western scientific methods. Claims made by me, therefore, are based on personal experiences and the evidence of the combined multiple decades of case notes by Dr. Edward Bach as well as Healing Herbs and Flower Essence Services (the companies who make the ingredients I use in my products). This is not, however, accepted medical evidence or substantiated scientific evidence from a modern allopathic point of view. I am not a medical doctor or licensed healthcare practitioner.
